Thank you, assessors

Community Wide Experiment on the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction

CASP organizers are grateful to the independent assessors, who carried out the evaluation of predictions for previous CASPs and by so doing gauged the state-of-the-art in the field. We also thank the people who agreed to be assessors for this round of CASP.

CASP assessors:

Experiment	Comparative Modeling	Fold Recognition (Threading)	Ab initio (New Fold)
CASP1 (1994)	Michael James University of Alberta	Shoshana Wodak Free University of Brussels	Fred Cohen Univ. of California, San Francisco
CASP2 (1996)	Janet Thornton University College London	Michael Levitt Stanford University	Arthur Lesk University of Cambridge
CASP3 (1998)	Alwyn Jones Uppsala University	Alexey Murzin MRC Centre, Cambridge	Christine Orengo University College London
CASP4 (2000)	Anna Tramontano University of Rome	Manfred Sippl University of Salzburg	Arthur Lesk University of Cambridge
CASP5 (2002)	Anna Tramontano University of Rome	Nick Grishin University of Texas	Rob Russel EMBL, Heidelberg
CASP6 (2004)	Alfonso Valencia CNB, Madrid	Roland Dunbrack Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia	BK Lee NCI/NIH, Bethesda
	High resolution modeling	Template-based modeling	Template-free modeling
CASP7 (2006)	Randy Read University of Cambridge	Torsten Schwede University of Basel	Neil Clarke Genome Institute of Singapore

According to CASP policy, assessors are not allowed to be directly involved in the organization of the experiment, nor can they take part in the experiment in the role of predictors.

Please note that predictors are strongly requested not to contact assessors directly with queries, but rather to send these to the casp@predictioncenter.org email address.
